My apologies for the late update. An unexpected situation happened in which my laptop developed a problem and subsequently CRASHED, and though I was able to save my files, the fanfics that I last saved were corrupted, and while the fanfics I've typed were among those saved, 50% of the progress was affected, hence I had to restart working on the chapters, hence I was unable to meet the deadline which the next update was supposed to be the last week of March.
So now I'm working on the next chapters and if this fic gets a review, I will have the next update ready. Now that I finished my explanation…time to get down to business…
Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here, Midoriya is having an emotional crisis after getting dumped by Uraraka in the midst of their graduation.
Will he be able to overcome it?
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 2: Graduation Depression and Advertising App / Sotsugyō utsubyō to kōkoku apuri
Aldera Middle School.
The scene shows that the school is in the midst of a graduating ceremony where the 3rd year students are graduating and are soon to enter high school in a matter of weeks, and you can see the students are looking forward to leaving Aldera as they are excited to see themselves becoming high school students once April arrive.
Some of the 3rd year students are chatting with each other as they say their goodbyes as they are set to part ways with each other once the graduation ceremony ends.
"Guess this is goodbye, huh?"
"We're gonna drift apart…"
"I don't want this…"
"What'll happen to our posse?"
"I'm gonna miss you…"
"Our posse will live on…"
"We'll meet again…"
"See you soon…"
The scene shows that Izuku is among those who will graduate and is being given the farewell greetings from his classmates, as they are happy to see that he is heading off to a high school of his choosing, as well as the fact that he and Uraraka are dating.
They saw Uraraka chatting with her female classmates and there the boys encourage Izuku to introduce her to his parents so that it would lay a foundation to their budding relationship, which Izuku seemingly agree to this.
"Go on, Midoriya..."
"Yeah…"
"Introduce her to your folks…"
"It'll be a plus factor."
"He's right."
"Better do it, Midoriya."
"Tell your mom and dad you got a girlfriend…"
"Do it, man…"
Both Izuku and Uraraka are graduating, along with the rest of the 3rd year students, and as Izuku is about to celebrate with his parents, he saw Uraraka approaching him, and there she told him what would appeared to be a very bad news. She wanted to break up with him.
Midoriya stood still as he felt his body getting ready to shatter apart, as Uraraka told him the reason why.
"You see, Deku...I decided to apply at UA Academy…you know…that famous high school where they would teach you to become a pro hero…."
"…"
"And I need to focus on that…plus…it would be bad if they find out that I'm hanging out with a Quirkless boy…so it's a risk I can't take…"
"…"
"If anyone finds out about this…I might get ridiculed and all…and that would surely affect my chances in applying at UA Academy, hence the need to break up with you…"
"…"
"I'm sure you understand…though it's only over a month…but it was fun. Thanks for everything…see you…"
"…"
While this seemed like a justifiable reason for her, it was still shallow as Uraraka showed no hints of reluctance and she THANKED him for the good times they spent, and left the school grounds, leaving Midoriya mentally and emotionally devastated, just as his dad, Hisashi came and innocently asked his son if he is okay, unaware of what happened to him.
"Hey, Izuku!"
"…"
"Come on…"
"…"
"Graduation has ended! Let's go! We got to celebrate, you know!"
"…"
"Your mom is waiting! Let's go out and eat! Then we discuss which high school your going to enter…"
"…"
The Midoriya parents came and told their son that they booked a restaurant where they can celebrate their son's graduation, and they were so enamored that they didn't notice the shocked look on his face, and the parents seemed to pay no attention as they prodded Izuku to smile for the camera as a photographer came and requested to pose for the graduation photo album.
"Izuku…"
"Come on, son!"
"…"
"Smile for the camera!"
"It's your graduation day!"
"…"
"Make us proud."
"You truly are our son."
"…"
Izuku saw Uraraka chatting with her soon-to-departing classmates and noted that there is no hint of sadness and she even looked like nothing has happened and this made him more upset, so upset that he kicked a garbage can and walked out.
Some of Izuku's friends saw it and wondered what happened, and one of them told the others what took place, and they were aghast at what they were told, and felt that what Uraraka did is unfair and selfish, doing that to him on the day of graduation.
"What?"
"Seriously?"
"What the heck.*
"That Uraraka!"
"How could she do that to him!"
"That was a low blow!"
"We ought to confront her!"
"Yeah!"
The friends are now planning on confronting Uraraka for her foolish actions, but two of Midoriya's friends came and dissuaded the others from causing a scene and persuade them to forget the whole episode as it would mean nothing to her.
The two boys who played peacemakers are identified as:
- Astro
- Saito
The two boys urges their fellow classmates not to make a scene as this would only upset Izuku, which the others are unsure if this is a good idea as they felt that Izuku needed a friend to comfort and console him, and both Astro and Saito said they will do it, which the others reluctantly agreed to the two boys' advise.
"Okay."
"Fine."
"Better cheer him up."
"See to it that he doesn't commit suicide."
"Be there for him."
"Keep an eye on him."
"Look out for him."
*Make sure he doesn't do anything rash…"
As Astro and Saito plan on going to look for Izuku once the graduation ceremony ends, the Midoriya parents are baffled as they couldn't find their son as the graduation ceremony is still ongoing, and wondered what has gotten into him.
"Where's Izuku?"
"Where did he go?"
"That boy…how can he…"
"I'm worried."
"He'll be fine."
"Really?"
"Yes. He'll be back."
"…"
-x-
Not far, Izuku is seen at a corner of a school building, sulking as he never felt this bad, as Uraraka came and broke up with him on the day of their graduation, which is not only humiliating, but emotionally gut-wrenching, and he began to wonder if he has done anything wrong, and felt like wanting to kill himself feeling that he is the cause of his failed relationship.
By then Astro and Saito came and began to console Izuku, while at the same time told him that they heard about what happened, and urged him to forget Uraraka, stating that she showed her true colors by breaking up with him over a shallow reason.
Saito also pointed out that if she wanted to break up with Izuku, she should have done it at least a day after graduation, not on the day itself, which Astro agreed, and the two friends told Izuku to get over it and celebrate graduation, as well as to go see his family, as they are worried about where Izuku went to, which somewhat convinced the bereaved boy to slowly get over it.
"So let's head back."
"Yeah. Your folks are about to get worried."
"I…fine."
"Don't feel bad."
"You'll find new love in no time."
"…"
"Let's go. The graduation ceremony is still on."
"Yeah. We got to finish this."
"O-okay…"
And so the three boys went back to the graduation ceremony and everything went well, where the students finally graduated middle school, and while Saito and Astro are celebrating, they noted the depressed look on Izuku's face, and they hoped that their friend would get over his sadness and find someone else who would be willing to like him for his kind nature.
"Izuku…"
"Think he'll be okay?"
"Let's hope that he is."
"That Uraraka…she's a real prick."
"Yeah. She did that today of all days."
"I'm sure Izuku will overcome it."
"You think so?"
"I'm sure."
-x-
A few days later, while the rest of the Midoriya family are having breakfast, Izuku is seen alone in his bedroom, still moping at how Uraraka dumped him so suddenly because she chose her high school-hero-in-training career without even consulting him.
Despite the advice he received from Saito and Astro, Izuku was unable to get over his heartbreak, and decided to surf the internet using his smartphone, where he came across a website app where one can rent a girl and pose as a girlfriend for a day, with a fixed price.
Izuku blinked his eyes as he never seen anything like this before, and recalling how Uraraka approached him and announced the sudden breaking up of their relationship, Izuku felt compelled to check the site out and see it for himself, as he wanted to get his mind off over the heartache that Uraraka caused.
"I wonder…maybe…"
-x-
The next day, the scene shifts at Shibuya, where it is known as a special ward in Tokyo, Japan. A major commercial and business centre, it houses the two busiest railway stations in the world, Shinjuku Station (southern half) and Shibuya Station.
There are several famous fashion department stores in Shibuya. Shibuya 109 is a major shopping center near Shibuya Station, particularly famous as the origin of the kogal subculture.
As Izuku is standing in front of a popular mall, someone approached him, where he is taken aback at who appeared in front of him. The person who he intend to meet was a teenage girl, in which she displayed the following characteristics:
- a girl of medium height and has a slim build.
- She has teal eyes and long orange hair that she typically wears tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head.
- Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head.
- slightly well-endowed breasts
- Wearing cardigan blouse
- A red mini-skirt
- semi-boots with heels
There the teen girl stood there smiling, as she got to meet the person she interacted through the private messaging, and is rather bemused to see Izuku in the flesh, as she saw him only through an avatar that the dating app showed.
There the teen girl, who is of the same age as Izuku, introduces herself as Itsuka Kendo, the rental girlfriend for the day.
"Hello."
"Huh?"
"You're Izuku Midoriya, correct?"
"Y-yeah…I'm Midoriya."
"Please to meet you. I'm Itsuka Kendo. Your rental girlfriend for the day."
"Girl…friend…?"
"Yup. So let's get on with our date."
"…"
